$Ball Token Utility Phase Disclaimer:
The $Ball Token (referred to as “Token”) is a utility token designed solely for use within the $Ball multi-chain gaming ecosystem (the “Meme Ball Game”). The primary function of the Token is to enable Web3 players to access in-game items, participate in events, and earn rewards. The Token does not represent an investment, and it is not intended to provide any financial returns or profits.
No Investment Expectation:
Purchasers and users of the Token should not expect any increase in the Token’s value, profit generation, or financial returns from holding or using the Token. The value of the Token is tied exclusively to its utility within the Game and not influenced by the performance of the project, the game developers, or any external market factors.
Not a Security:
The Token has been structured as a utility token and does not confer any ownership, equity, or control over the game, the project, or its intellectual property. It is not classified as a security under applicable securities laws.
Risks:
By acquiring the Token, you acknowledge that you are participating solely for entertainment and gaming purposes, and you are aware of the potential risks of using blockchain-based digital assets, including market volatility, technology risks, and regulatory changes.
No Guarantees:
The creators of the $Ball Token make no guarantees regarding its future value or usability outside the Game. Token holders are advised to make their own independent legal and financial assessments before participating.
$Ball Token Fractional Ownership Disclaimer:
Upon transitioning to support fractional ownership of a real-world basketball collectible (the “Collectible”), the $Ball Token and associated NFTs may represent Real World Asset ownership shares in the Collectible and could be subject to securities regulations in various jurisdictions.
Investment Considerations:
When the Token evolves into a fractional ownership model, it may be deemed a security under applicable law. This means that participation in this phase may involve financial risks, including the potential for loss, and users should approach the investment with caution.
Securities Classification:
The $Ball Token and NFTs associated with fractional ownership may require registration as a security or be offered under exemptions from registration (e.g., Regulation D for accredited investors). The project team will ensure compliance with all relevant securities laws.
Risk of Loss:
Ownership of fractional shares in the Collectible carries risks, including the potential depreciation of the asset, lack of liquidity, or inability to sell the Token on secondary markets. The value of the Collectible and, by extension, the Token, may fluctuate based on external market conditions.
KYC/AML Requirements:
As part of the fractional ownership phase, participants will be required to undergo Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) procedures. By participating, you agree to provide necessary information and comply with regulatory obligations.
Regulatory and Legal Compliance:
The project team will comply with relevant securities laws, including reporting requirements, KYC/AML standards, and the necessary filings with regulatory authorities. All potential token holders are advised to consult their legal, tax, and financial advisors before participating in this phase of the project.
Secondary Market Considerations:
The ability to trade or transfer ownership shares of the Collectible via NFTs or $Ball Tokens on secondary markets may be limited or restricted. Liquidity risks may arise if there is no active market for the fractionalized asset.
General Risks Associated with Blockchain and Digital Assets:
The $Ball Token operates on a blockchain, which involves inherent risks, including but not limited to market volatility, technological risks, regulatory uncertainties, and security vulnerabilities. By using the $Ball Token, you acknowledge and accept these risks.
Local Legal Compliance:
It is your responsibility to ensure that the use and trading of the $Ball Token comply with the laws of your jurisdiction. This includes compliance with securities laws, tax regulations, and anti-money laundering rules. The project team will not be held liable for any legal violations by users of the Token.
